A small body
A is fixed to the inside of a thin rigid hoop of radius
R and mass equal to that of the body
A. The hoop rolls without slipping over a horizontal plane; at the moments when the body
A gets into the lower position, the centre of the hoop moves with velocity
v0 (figure shown above). If the hoop moves without bouncing for
v0=√xgR, then find the value of
x.
